Public bug reported:

I was upgrading a Precise + Essex install, using the ubuntu-cloud
archive, to Precise + Folsom.

During the upgrade I received an error during the package installation
of python-swiftclient (see below).

The workaround was to remove the 'swift' package before installing
'python-swiftclient'.

Is there a missing conflicts on this package?

Error message:

[...]
